Solution

The correct option is E 3A+XO
Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly in the family Drosophilidae. The species is known generally as the common fruit fly or vinegar fly.
D. melanogaster continues to be widely used for biological research in studies of genetics, physiology, microbial pathogenesis, and life history evolution. It is typically used because it is an animal species that is easy to care for, has four pairs of chromosomes, breeds quickly, and lays many eggs.
Metamale: A fly with three (instead of the normal two) copies of each autosome. The disproportion of autosomes to the normal complement of one X chromosome impairs development, and such flies are typically weak and sterile.
